Barack Obama is a role model for African Americans?

There are some commentators who have suggested that President Obama would never had been elected on 4 November 2008, unless he would be considered as A TRUE ROLE MODEL for African Americans. In other words, Obama could never be seen as a role model unless he would have certain ties with the Black community in America:-

(i) Prior to his bid for the White House in 2008, Obama was a longstanding member of the Trinity United Church of Christ, which is a primarily black congregation in Chicago.

(ii) Pastor Jeremiah Alvesta Wright married Barack and his wife at TUCC, which means that there is no question whatsover about Obama's African American identity.

(iii) Obama had a large number of friends and associates from within the black community throughout his childhood and adolescent years, which is evident from his autobiography: The Audacity of Hope and Dreams from my Father.

President Obama was elected by the majority of black and white voters, because he is seen to represent the interests of both communities; and at the same time, he is seen to act as a bridge between the two communities. Therefore, it is little wonder that Obama was selected as a candidate for the US Senate and White House, because he is a useful pawn to the political White establishment. Obama is useful to the establishment because it is a popular myth amongst the White majority that America is no longer a racially divided society, White people are not racist, and Obama will help to ease racial tensions in America.

Consequently, it's not rocket science for anybody to infer that the first Hispanic or Asian candidate to win the White House must ALSO be considered as "a true role model" for their respective communities. However, any such candidate would be RADICALLY DIFFERENT to President Obama, because historically, the black community has been long settled in the United States; and thereby, it is not necessary for any black candidate to demonstrate any close ties with the African continent to be a representative role model to the black community in America. On the other hand, a large percentage of the Hispanic and Asian communities happen to be first generation immigrants, who still have close ties with the mother country; and for any Hispanic or Asian candidate to be successful, such a candidate must be seen to represent the immigrant population, as much as represent the American-born Hispanic or Asian community.

To summarise my point: (a) A successful black candidate doesn't need to have immediate ties with the African continent because the vast majority of blacks are born in the United States. (b) On the other hand, the Hispanic and Asian communities are RADICALLY DIFFERENT to the black community, because there are significant numbers who happen to be first generation immigrants, which means that any successful candidate must be seen to represent the interests of the immigrant population, as much as represent the interests of the American-born Hispanic or Asian community. (c) Therefore, to attract the financial backing of Corporate America, any would be candidate who is either Hispanic or Asian must be seen to represent the interests of the political White establishment; which usually implies that such a candidate must be seen to represent the interests of the immigrant population, as much as represent the interests of the American-born Hispanic or Asian community. (d) Despite the numerical superiority of the Hispanic population, it is rather more urgent for the political White establishment to find a suitable candidate amongst the Chinese American population, which is for a number of reasons:-

(i) The Asian American population is the second-fastest growing ethnic minority in the United States, and the Asian community will be evermore significant to the social, economic, and political life of America; and therefore, any successful candidate must be seen to act as a bridge between the Asian and White community, which is for the purpose of improved relations between the two communities.

(ii) China's imminent rise as a global superpower in the next 20 years might be a source of friction or apprehension to some Americans, but any would be candidate of Asian background must be regarded as a "positive" role model, which would do much to allay the fear and suspicions of the political majority.

(iii) Consequently, any such candidate must be seen to represent the interests of the immigrant population, which usually implies that he must also have close ties with the ancestral country, IN ONE SHAPE OR ANOTHER.

Given that this is classified information leaked by the White House (via A.L.H. in March 2010), which the government doesn't want anybody to know, are we really therefore supposed to believe anything else that the government is now trying to tell us in regards to the nature of US elections?
